< Jeremia 15 >
1 Ipapo Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Kunyange dai Mozisi naSamueri vaimira pamberi pangu, mwoyo wangu hawaiva nehanya navanhu ava. Vadzingei pamberi pangu! Regai vaende!
Kenaka Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Ngakhale Mose ndi Samueli akanayima pamaso panga kupempherera anthu awa, Ine sindikanawachitira chisoni. Achotseni ndipo ndisawaonenso! Aleke apite!
2 Zvino kana vakakubvunza vachiti, ‘Tichaendepiko?’ Uvaudze kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Vakafanirwa norufu ngavaende kurufu, vakafanirwa nomunondo, kumunondo; vakafanirwa nenzara, kunzara; vakafanirwa noutapwa, kuutapwa.’
Ndipo ngati akufunsa iwe kuti, ‘Kodi tipite kuti?’ uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova akuti, “‘Oyenera kufa adzafa; oyenera kufa ndi lupanga adzafa ndi lupanga; oyenera kufa ndi njala adzafa ndi njala; oyenera kupita ku ukapolo adzapita ku ukapolo.’
3 “Ndichatumira mhando ina dzavaparadzi pamusoro pavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “munondo kuti uuraye uye imbwa kuti dzikwekweredzere kure, neshiri dzedenga nemhuka dzenyika kuti dzidye uye dziparadze.
“Ine ndidzawatumizira mitundu inayi ya zinthu zowononga,” akutero Yehova, “lupanga lowapha, agalu owaluma, mbalame zamumlengalenga ndiponso zirombo zoti ziwadye ndi kuwawononga.
4 Ndichaita kuti vavengwe noushe hwose hwenyika nokuda kwezvakaitwa muJerusarema naManase, mwanakomana waHezekia mambo weJudha.
Ndidzawasandutsa kukhala chinthu chonyansa kwa anthu a maufumu onse a dziko lapansi chifukwa cha zimene Manase mwana wa Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda anachita mu Yerusalemu.
5 “Ndianiko achakunzwira tsitsi, iwe Jerusarema? Ndianiko achakuchemera? Ndianiko achamira achikubvunza mufaro?
“Kodi adzakumvera chisoni ndani, Yerusalemu? Kodi adzakulira ndani? Kodi ndani amene adzapatuka kufunsa za moyo wako?
6 Wakandiramba,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Unoramba uchidzokera shure. Saka ndichakubata noruoko rwangu ndigokuparadza; handichagoni kuramba ndichikunzwira tsitsi.
Inu mwandikana Ine,” akutero Yehova. “Inu mukubwererabe mʼmbuyo. Choncho Ine ndidzakukanthani. Ndatopa ndi kukuchitirani chifundo.
7 Ndichavarudza neforogo yokurudzisa, pamasuo eguta renyika. Ndichauyisa kufirwa nokuparadzwa pamusoro pavanhu vangu, nokuti havana kushandura nzira dzavo.
Ine ndidzakubalalitsani kukuchotsani mʼmizinda ya mʼdzikomo monga mmene amachitira ndi mankhusu popeta ndi lichero. Anthu anga ndinawaliritsa ndi kuwawononga chifukwa sanasinthe makhalidwe awo oyipa.
8 Ndichawanza chirikadzi dzavo kupfuura jecha regungwa. Panguva yamasikati ndichauyisa muparadzi, pamusoro pavanamai vamajaya avo; pakarepo, ndichaburutsa pamusoro pavo kurwadziwa nokutya.
Ndinachulukitsa amayi awo amasiye kupambana mchenga wa kunyanja. Amayiwo ndinawawonongera ana awo aamuna dzuwa lili pamutu. Mwadzidzidzi ndinawagwetsera kuwawa mtima ndi mantha.
9 Mai vakabereka vana vanomwe vachaziya vagofa. Zuva rake richavira achiri masikati; achanyadziswa uye achaninipiswa. Vachapunyuka ndichavaisa kumunondo pamberi pavavengi vavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Mayi wa ana asanu ndi awiri wakomoka ndipo akupuma wefuwefu. Dzuwa lake lalowa ukanali usana; anamuchititsa manyazi ndipo wathedwa nzeru. Otsala ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo kuti awaphe ndi lupanga,” akutero Yehova.
10 Yowe-e, mai vangu, zvamakandibereka kuti ndive murume anorwiswa uye anomisidzanwa naye nenyika yose! Handina kumbopa munhu chikwereti, kana kutora chikwereti, asi zvakadaro vanhu vose vanondituka.
Kalanga ine, amayi pakuti munandibereka ine, munthu amene ndikutsutsana ndi kulimbana ndi anthu pa dziko lonse! Ine sindinakongoze kapena kukongola kanthu, komatu aliyense akunditemberera.
11 Jehovha akati, “Zvirokwazvo ndichakurwira nokuda kwechikonzero chakanaka; zvirokwazvo ndichaita kuti vavengi vako vakunyengetedze panguva yenjodzi nepanguva yokutambudzika.
Yehova anati, “Ndithudi, Ine ndidzakulanditsa kuti upeze bwino. Ndithudi, adani ako adzakupempha pa nthawi ya tsoka ndi ya mavuto awo.
12 “Ko, munhu angavhuna simbi here, simbi inobva nechokumusoro, kana ndarira?
“Palibe munthu amene angathe kudula chitsulo, makamaka chitsulo chochokera kumpoto chosakaniza ndi mkuwa.
13 Pfuma yako namatura ako ndichazvipa sezvakapambwa, pasina muripo, nokuda kwezvivi zvako zvose munyika yako yose.
Anthu ako ndi chuma chako ndidzazipereka kwa ofunkha popanda malipiro, chifukwa cha machimo anu onse a mʼdziko lanu lonse.
14 Ndichakuita muranda wavavengi vako kunyika yausingazivi, nokuti kutsamwa kwangu kuchabatidza moto uchapfuta kuti ukupise.”
Ndidzakusandutsani akapolo a adani anu mʼdziko limene inu simulidziwa, chifukwa mkwiyo wanga wayaka ngati moto umene udzakutenthani.”
15 Haiwa Jehovha, imi munonzwisisa; ndirangarirei mugondichengeta. Munditsivire kuvatambudzi vangu. Imi mune mwoyo murefu, musandibvisa; fungai kuti ndakanyadziswa sei nokuda kwenyu.
Ine ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mumadziwa zonse; kumbukireni ndi kundisamalira. Ndilipsireni anthu ondizunza. Ndilezereni mtima musandilande moyo wanga. Onani momwe ndi kuvutikira chifukwa cha Inu.
16 Mashoko enyu paakasvika ndakaadya; akanga ari mufaro wangu nokufadzwa kwomwoyo wangu, nokuti ndakatumidzwa zita renyu, imi Jehovha Mwari Wamasimba Ose.
Munandiyankhula ndipo mawu anu ndinawalandira bwino. Mawu anu anandipatsa chimwemwe ndipo mtima wanga unasangalala. Paja ine, Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, ndimadziwika ndi dzina lanu.
17 Handina kumbogara pakati peungano yavanozvifadza, handina kumbofara navo; ndakagara ndoga nokuti ruoko rwenyu rwaiva pamusoro pangu, uye makanga mandizadza nokutsamwa.
Sindinakhale nawo mʼgulu la anthu amadyera, sindinasangalale nawo anthu amenewo. Ndinakhala ndekha chifukwa choti dzanja lanu linali pa ine ndipo munadzaza mu mtima mwanga ndi mkwiyo.
18 Seiko kurwadziwa kwangu kusingaperi, uye ronda rangu richirwadza uye risingarapiki? Muchava kwandiri sorukova runonyengera, sechitubu chinopwa?
Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani mavuto anga sakutha? Bwanji chilonda changa sichikupola? Kodi inu mudzakhala ngati mtsinje wowuma nthawi yachilimwe, kapena ngati kasupe wopanda madzi?”
19 Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha: “Kana ukatendeuka, ndichakudzosazve kuti ugondishumira; kana ukataura zvakafanira, kwete mashoko asakafanira, uchava munhu anotaura akandimirira. Vanhu ava ngavadzokere kwauri, asi iwe usaenda kwavari.
Tsono Yehova anandiyankha kuti, “Ukabwerera kwa Ine, ndidzakulandiranso ndipo udzakhalanso mtumiki wanga. Ngati udzayankhula mawu oyenera osati achabechabe, udzakhalanso mneneri wanga. Anthu adzabwera kwa iwe ndipo sipadzafunika kuti iwe upite kwa iwo.
20 Ndichakuita rusvingo kuvanhu ava, nhare yorusvingo rwendarira; vacharwa newe, asi havangakukundi, nokuti ini ndinewe, kuti ndikurwire ndigokuponesa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Ndidzakusandutsa ngati khoma lolimba ngati mkuwa kwa anthu awa. Adzalimbana nawe koma sadzakugonjetsa, pakuti Ine ndili nawe kukulanditsa ndi kukupulumutsa,” akutero Yehova.
21 “Ndichakuponesa kubva mumaoko avakaipa uye ndichakudzikinura pamaoko avano utsinye.”
“Ndidzakupulumutsa mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa ndipo ndidzakuwombola kwa anthu ankhanza.”
